    The Orichalcos Conspiracy

    I've been with the game ever since it came here to the states, and yes, the game WAS still in its infancy, by Cybernetic Revolution; the metagame mentality as we know it today was just BARELY forming in the wake of the Envoy incident, and the transition from the original series to GX - in both...

    The Orichalcos Conspiracy

    And I think you're trying to apply current elitist mindset to a fandom that was still in its infancy during the time this rumor supposedly happened. Seriously, this event happened during the DOMA saga, right after the Battle City arc, and the game had just barely gotten into the real meat of...

    The Orichalcos Conspiracy

    Oh, but that's the beauty of this rumor: along with UDE's talk about their contributions to the game, it's implied that they COULD and DID do it behind Konami's back. With the rumor in place and circulating, they'd be able to convince fans that they care more about their needs than Konami does...

    Fantasy Card Review - Unhinged

    There's a difference, here; the LV monsters worked because they were monsters, and had their own way of getting their "upgraded" forms out, plus most of them allowed you to bring out all but their supreme "upgraded" forms out without needing to go through the leveling-up process. What works for...

    The Orichalcos Conspiracy

    No, it's people like you who believe the rumor that won't "let them drop it". No, really; the moment the event even comes up in a conversation, the believers are all over it, demanding belief in it like it's their mission to convert the unbeliever to it. At least, that's usually how it turns...

    The Orichalcos Conspiracy

    Because if the rumor is true, which Tewert's and Kenji's statements hint that it is, then it was played in a public tournament, exposed to the fans. What are they hiding NOW if they've already shown the public in the PAST that the card exists? The tournament was held, someone dueled against the...

    Fantasy Card Review - Unhinged

    That's just it; no one's done an "equip upgrade" gimmick before, and when I went back and looked at these cards, I realized just how impractical it would be; unless you make a very dedicated Equip deck, it would just be a waste of resources to have to trade up one Equip card for another...

    The Orichalcos Conspiracy

    I'm not sure if you frequented the UDE boards before Konami took full control of the game, but they made frequent exaggerated and downright untruthful claims about what they've done to the game. Not just Tewert, but several of the reps on their boards. If anything, they were likely ordered by...

    The Orichalcos Conspiracy

    I can't accept that. The problem is, they've "confirmed" the rumor in its entirety, both that the card was real AND that it was played in a "Duel the Master" tournament. That means they've ALREADY exposed it to the public, so getting paranoid about it "falling into the wrong hands" is stupid...

    The Orichalcos Conspiracy

    That's not the impression I got from reading Kenji's comments; it seemed to me like he was getting tired of all of the speculation, and just rambled off something to satisfy the curious so the speculation would stop. Actually, between his and Tewert's statements, the impression I got was they...

    The Orichalcos Conspiracy

    I was asking if it was "real" in the sense that it exists in any form, and it was used by the employees of UDE during the "Duel the Master" tournament, and frankly, Tewert has lied his butt off way too much for me to trust his word. Like I said, I've looked at his and Kenji's comments about it...

    The Orichalcos Conspiracy

    I'm sorry, but saying that he's trustworthy isn't enough for me; he may believe his story, and he may not lie on any other occasion, but this story's been going around for years with no concrete, verifiable evidence to back it up. If they provided a picture of the duel, a flyer from UDE...

    Stupid basic Swords of Revealing Light question

    Yes, but discard due to WHAT, is my problem; the OCG merely states that it activates when you discard due to having more cards than your hand size limit, with no mention of what that limit has to be, at the time (meaning that if Hieroglyph Lithograph bumps your HSL to 7, or Enervating Mist drops...

    The Orichalcos Conspiracy

    Egh, Pojo? That's one of the worst places to get accurate and unbiased information about the game. Plus, not only does it look like the people on there know when or where it happened (which is consistent with all of the accounts I've heard, that is to say utter rubbish hearsay that doesn't tell...

    The Orichalcos Conspiracy

    A while back, on UDE's YGO forum, I had heard of some people swearing up and down that they had seen the Seal of Orichalcos played in some sort of "Beat the Master" tournament at a local convention. They never specified which convention they saw it in, who was playing or against which UDE...

    Prisma v Gladiator Beast fusions

    I think a deeper explanation of Prisma's effect and non-specified Fusion Material Monsters is in order to clear this up. First of all, the above people are correct when they say you cannot send 1 random GB monster to the grave for Prisma's effect; Prisma needs a specific monster to copy the...

    Stupid basic Swords of Revealing Light question

    Wow, they changed Indomitable Gladiator Beast's effect so you can use GB CARDS instead of merely MONSTERS. I wonder if they'll have enough sense to errata Parry, Disarm, and Gladiator's Return the same way... Also, any word yet if they've errata'd Dark World Grimoire's effect to clarify when...

    Senet Switch Control deck

    I've been hearing some pretty bad things being said about the Senet Switch cards. Y'know,t he cards from Cyberdark Impact that move around from MCZ to MCZ and have effects that are based on what cards the opponent has in the same column as them. Yeah, those cards. Well, a while back, when I...

    White-Eyes Platinum Dragon ************ Light/Dragon - Effect/Ritual 10,000/10,000 Effect: This card is Ritual Summoned by the Ritual Card "White-Eyes Platinum Ritual". You must also offer 3 level 7 or higher LIGHT Dragon-Type monsters as a Tribute. This card cannot be Summoned other than by...

    The missing link between Normal and Effect Monsters: Bengal Monsters

    I was rather fascinated by the concept of the Gemini monsters, intrigued by the prospect of a monster subtype that combines the best of both Effect and Normal Monsters. However, I didn't like how the Gemini monsters didn't have that coherent of a strategy to them, or that there were no...
